Character Strings A string literal is represented by putting double quotes around the text Examples: "This is a string literal." "123 Main Street" "X" Every character string is an object in Java, defined by the String class Every string literal represents a String object

System.out.println ("Whatever you are, be a good one."); The println Method In the Lincoln program from Chapter 1, we invoked the println method to print a character string The System.out object represents a destination (the monitor screen) to which we can send output System.out.println ("Whatever you are, be a good one."); method name object information provided to the method (parameters)

The print Method The System.out object provides another service as well The print method is similar to the println method, except that it does not advance to the next line Therefore anything printed after a print statement will appear on the same line See Countdown.java

//******************************************************************** // Countdown.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the difference between print and println. public class Countdown { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints two lines of output representing a rocket countdown. public static void main (String[] args) System.out.print ("Three... "); System.out.print ("Two... "); System.out.print ("One... "); System.out.print ("Zero... "); System.out.println ("Liftoff!"); // appears on first output line System.out.println ("Houston, we have a problem."); }

Output Three... Two... One... Zero... Liftoff! Houston, we have a problem. //******************************************************************** // Countdown.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the difference between print and println. public class Countdown { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints two lines of output representing a rocket countdown. public static void main (String[] args) System.out.print ("Three... "); System.out.print ("Two... "); System.out.print ("One... "); System.out.print ("Zero... "); System.out.println ("Liftoff!"); // appears on first output line System.out.println ("Houston, we have a problem."); }

"Peanut butter " + "and jelly" String Concatenation The string concatenation operator (+) is used to append one string to the end of another "Peanut butter " + "and jelly" It can also be used to append a number to a string A string literal cannot be broken across two lines in a program See Facts.java

//******************************************************************** // Facts.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the use of the string concatenation operator and the // automatic conversion of an integer to a string. public class Facts { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints various facts. public static void main (String[] args) // Strings can be concatenated into one long string System.out.println ("We present the following facts for your " + "extracurricular edification:"); System.out.println (); // A string can contain numeric digits System.out.println ("Letters in the Hawaiian alphabet: 12"); continue

continue // A numeric value can be concatenated to a string System.out.println ("Dialing code for Antarctica: " + 672); System.out.println ("Year in which Leonardo da Vinci invented " + "the parachute: " + 1515); System.out.println ("Speed of ketchup: " + 40 + " km per year"); }

Output We present the following facts for your extracurricular edification: Letters in the Hawaiian alphabet: 12 Dialing code for Antarctica: 672 Year in which Leonardo da Vinci invented the parachute: 1515 Speed of ketchup: 40 km per year continue // A numeric value can be concatenated to a string System.out.println ("Dialing code for Antarctica: " + 672); System.out.println ("Year in which Leonardo da Vinci invented " + "the parachute: " + 1515); System.out.println ("Speed of ketchup: " + 40 + " km per year"); }

String Concatenation The + operator is also used for arithmetic addition The function that it performs depends on the type of the information on which it operates If both operands are strings, or if one is a string and one is a number, it performs string concatenation If both operands are numeric, it adds them The + operator is evaluated left to right, but parentheses can be used to force the order See Addition.java

//******************************************************************** // Addition.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the difference between the addition and string // concatenation operators. public class Addition { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Concatenates and adds two numbers and prints the results. public static void main (String[] args) System.out.println ("24 and 45 concatenated: " + 24 + 45); System.out.println ("24 and 45 added: " + (24 + 45)); }

Output 24 and 45 concatenated: 2445 24 and 45 added: 69 //******************************************************************** // Addition.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the difference between the addition and string // concatenation operators. public class Addition { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Concatenates and adds two numbers and prints the results. public static void main (String[] args) System.out.println ("24 and 45 concatenated: " + 24 + 45); System.out.println ("24 and 45 added: " + (24 + 45)); }

Quick Check What output is produced by the following? System.out.println ("X: " + 25); System.out.println ("Y: " + (15 + 50)); System.out.println ("Z: " + 300 + 50);

Quick Check What output is produced by the following? System.out.println ("X: " + 25); System.out.println ("Y: " + (15 + 50)); System.out.println ("Z: " + 300 + 50); X: 25 Y: 65 Z: 30050

Escape Sequences What if we wanted to print the quote character? The following line would confuse the compiler because it would interpret the second quote as the end of the string System.out.println ("I said "Hello" to you."); An escape sequence is a series of characters that represents a special character An escape sequence begins with a backslash character (\) System.out.println ("I said \"Hello\" to you.");

Escape Sequences Some Java escape sequences: See Roses.java \b \t \n \r \" \' \\ Meaning backspace tab newline carriage return double quote single quote backslash See Roses.java

//******************************************************************** // Roses.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the use of escape sequences. public class Roses { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints a poem (of sorts) on multiple lines. public static void main (String[] args) System.out.println ("Roses are red,\n\tViolets are blue,\n" + "Sugar is sweet,\n\tBut I have \"commitment issues\",\n\t" + "So I'd rather just be friends\n\tAt this point in our " + "relationship."); }

Output Roses are red, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet, But I have "commitment issues", So I'd rather just be friends At this point in our relationship. //******************************************************************** // Roses.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the use of escape sequences. public class Roses { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints a poem (of sorts) on multiple lines. public static void main (String[] args) System.out.println ("Roses are red,\n\tViolets are blue,\n" + "Sugar is sweet,\n\tBut I have \"commitment issues\",\n\t" + "So I'd rather just be friends\n\tAt this point in our " + "relationship."); }

Quick Check Write a single println statement that produces the following output: "Thank you all for coming to my home tonight," he said mysteriously.

Quick Check Write a single println statement that produces the following output: "Thank you all for coming to my home tonight," he said mysteriously. System.out.println ("\"Thank you all for " + "coming to my home\ntonight,\" he said " + "mysteriously.");

Multiple variables can be created in one declaration A variable is a name for a location in memory that holds a value A variable declaration specifies the variable's name and the type of information that it will hold data type variable name int total; int count, temp, result; Multiple variables can be created in one declaration

Variable Initialization A variable can be given an initial value in the declaration int sum = 0; int base = 32, max = 149; When a variable is referenced in a program, its current value is used See PianoKeys.java

//******************************************************************** // PianoKeys.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the declaration, initialization, and use of an // integer variable. public class PianoKeys { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints the number of keys on a piano. public static void main (String[] args) int keys = 88; System.out.println ("A piano has " + keys + " keys."); }

Output A piano has 88 keys. //******************************************************************** // PianoKeys.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the declaration, initialization, and use of an // integer variable. public class PianoKeys { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints the number of keys on a piano. public static void main (String[] args) int keys = 88; System.out.println ("A piano has " + keys + " keys."); }

int total; double num1, num2=4.356, num3; char letter =‘A’, digit=‘7’; final int MAX=45;

Assignment An assignment statement changes the value of a variable The assignment operator is the = sign total = 55; The value that was in total is overwritten You can only assign a value to a variable that is consistent with the variable's declared type See Geometry.java

//******************************************************************** // Geometry.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the use of an assignment statement to change the // value stored in a variable. public class Geometry { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints the number of sides of several geometric shapes. public static void main (String[] args) int sides = 7; // declaration with initialization System.out.println ("A heptagon has " + sides + " sides."); sides = 10; // assignment statement System.out.println ("A decagon has " + sides + " sides."); sides = 12; System.out.println ("A dodecagon has " + sides + " sides."); }

Output A heptagon has 7 sides. A decagon has 10 sides. a dodecagon has 12 sides. //******************************************************************** // Geometry.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the use of an assignment statement to change the // value stored in a variable. public class Geometry { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Prints the number of sides of several geometric shapes. public static void main (String[] args) int sides = 7; // declaration with initialization System.out.println ("A heptagon has " + sides + " sides."); sides = 10; // assignment statement System.out.println ("A decagon has " + sides + " sides."); sides = 12; System.out.println ("A dodecagon has " + sides + " sides."); }

final int MIN_HEIGHT = 69; Constants A constant is an identifier that is similar to a variable except that it holds the same value during its entire existence As the name implies, it is constant, not variable The compiler will issue an error if you try to change the value of a constant In Java, we use the final modifier to declare a constant final int MIN_HEIGHT = 69;

Constants Constants are useful for three important reasons First, they give meaning to otherwise unclear literal values Example: MAX_LOAD means more than the literal 250 Second, they facilitate program maintenance If a constant is used in multiple places, its value need only be set in one place Third, they formally establish that a value should not change, avoiding inadvertent errors by other programmers

final int MAX_LOAD = 100, MAX_LOAD = 120; This is not allowed because it is a constant variable

Primitive Data There are eight primitive data types in Java Four of them represent integers: byte, short, int, long Two of them represent floating point numbers: float, double One of them represents characters: char And one of them represents boolean values: boolean

Numeric Primitive Data The difference between the numeric primitive types is their size and the values they can store: Type byte short int long float double Storage 8 bits 16 bits 32 bits 64 bits Min Value -128 -32,768 -2,147,483,648 < -9 x 1018 +/- 3.4 x 1038 with 7 significant digits +/- 1.7 x 10308 with 15 significant digits Max Value 127 32,767 2,147,483,647 > 9 x 1018

Characters A char variable stores a single character Character literals are delimited by single quotes: 'a' 'X' '7' '$' ',' '\n' Example declarations: char topGrade = 'A'; char terminator = ';', separator = ' '; Note the difference between a primitive character variable, which holds only one character, and a String object, which can hold multiple characters “A” and ‘a’ are different values

Character Sets A character set is an ordered list of characters, with each character corresponding to a unique number A char variable in Java can store any character from the Unicode character set The Unicode character set uses 16 bits per character, allowing for 65,536 unique characters It is an international character set, containing symbols and characters from many world languages

Characters The ASCII character set is older and smaller than Unicode, but is still quite popular The ASCII characters are a subset of the Unicode character set, including: uppercase letters lowercase letters punctuation digits special symbols control characters A, B, C, … a, b, c, … period, semi-colon, … 0, 1, 2, … &, |, \, … carriage return, tab, ...

Boolean A boolean value represents a true or false condition The reserved words true and false are the only valid values for a boolean type boolean done = false; A boolean variable can also be used to represent any two states, such as a light bulb being on or off

boolean flag = true; boolean answer= false; boolean tooHigh , tooSmall, tooRough ; boolean done =false;

Expressions An expression is a combination of one or more operators and operands Arithmetic expressions compute numeric results and make use of the arithmetic operators: Addition Subtraction Multiplication Division Remainder + - * / % If either or both operands are floating point values, then the result is a floating point value

Division and Remainder If both operands to the division operator (/) are integers, the result is an integer (the fractional part is discarded) 14 / 3 equals 4 8 / 12 equals 0 int / int -> int The remainder operator (%) returns the remainder after dividing the first operand by the second 14 % 3 equals 2 8 % 12 equals 8

Quick Check What are the results of the following expressions? 12 / 2 12.0 / 2.0 10 / 4 10 / 4.0 4 / 10 4.0 / 10 12 % 3 10 % 3 3 % 10

Quick Check What are the results of the following expressions? 12 / 2 12.0 / 2.0 10 / 4 10 / 4.0 4 / 10 4.0 / 10 12 % 3 10 % 3 3 % 10 = 6 = 6.0 = 2 = 2.5 = 0 = 0.4 = 1 = 3

result = total + count / max - offset; Operator Precedence Operators can be combined into larger expressions result = total + count / max - offset; Operators have a well-defined precedence which determines the order in which they are evaluated Multiplication, division, and remainder are evaluated before ,addition, subtraction, and string concatenation Arithmetic operators with the same precedence are evaluated from left to right, but parentheses can be used to force the evaluation order

Quick Check In what order are the operators evaluated in the following expressions? a + b + c + d + e a + b * c - d / e a / (b + c) - d % e a / (b * (c + (d - e)))

Quick Check In what order are the operators evaluated in the following expressions? a + b + c + d + e a + b * c - d / e 1 4 3 2 a / (b + c) - d % e a / (b * (c + (d - e)))

Expression Trees The evaluation of a particular expression can be shown using an expression tree The operators lower in the tree have higher precedence for that expression a + / - d b c a + (b – c) / d

Are the expressions correct Are the expressions correct? result = ((19 + 8) % 3) -4); result = (19 (+8 % ) 3 - 4 ); result = (19+2) / (5/2) * 2;

Assignment Revisited The assignment operator has a lower precedence than the arithmetic operators First the expression on the right hand side of the = operator is evaluated answer = sum / 4 + MAX * lowest; 4 1 3 2 Then the result is stored in the variable on the left hand side

Assignment Revisited The right and left hand sides of an assignment statement can contain the same variable First, one is added to the original value of count count = count + 1; Then the result is stored back into count (overwriting the original value)

HERE….

Increment and Decrement The increment (++) and decrement (--) operators use only one operand The statement count++; is functionally equivalent to count = count + 1;

Increment and Decrement The increment and decrement operators can be applied in postfix form: count++ or prefix form: ++count When used as part of a larger expression, the two forms can have different effects The increment and decrement operators should be used with care

int i=100; System.out.println("Celsius Temperature: " + ++i); System.out.println("Celsius Temperature: " + i--); System.out.println("Celsius Temperature: " + i);

Assignment Operators Often we perform an operation on a variable, and then store the result back into that variable Java provides assignment operators to simplify that process For example, the statement num += count; is equivalent to num = num + count;

Assignment Operators There are many assignment operators in Java, including the following: Operator += -= *= /= %= Example x += y x -= y x *= y x /= y x %= y Equivalent To x = x + y x = x - y x = x * y x = x / y x = x % y

Assignment Operators The right hand side of an assignment operator can be a complex expression The entire right-hand expression is evaluated first, then the result is combined with the original variable Therefore result /= (total-MIN) % num; is equivalent to result = result / ((total-MIN) % num); not result = result / (total-MIN) % num;

Assignment Operators The behavior of some assignment operators depends on the types of the operands If the operands to the += operator are strings, the assignment operator performs string concatenation The behavior of an assignment operator (+=) is always consistent with the behavior of the corresponding operator (+)

Data Conversion Sometimes it is convenient to convert data from one type to another For example, in a particular situation we may want to treat an integer as a floating point value These conversions do not change the type of a variable or the value that's stored in it – they only convert a value as part of a computation

Data Conversion Widening conversions are safest because they tend to go from a small data type to a larger one (such as a short to an int) Narrowing conversions can lose information because they tend to go from a large data type to a smaller one (such as an int to a short) In Java, data conversions can occur in three ways: assignment conversion (i = j) Promotion (result = sum / count) Casting (int) i

Data Conversion Widening Conversions Narrowing Conversions

Assignment Conversion Assignment conversion occurs when a value of one type is assigned to a variable of another Example: int dollars = 20; double money = dollars; Only widening conversions can happen via assignment Note that the value or type of dollars did not change

Promotion Promotion happens automatically when operators in expressions convert their operands Example: int count = 12; double sum = 490.27; double result = sum / count; The value of count is converted to a floating point value to perform the division calculation If a string is concatenated with a number, number is converted to a string before the operation.

Casting Casting is the most powerful, and dangerous, technique for conversion Both widening and narrowing conversions can be accomplished by explicitly casting a value To cast, the type is put in parentheses in front of the value being converted int total = 50; double result = (float) total / 6; Without the cast, the fractional part of the answer would be lost

Interactive Programs Programs generally need input on which to operate The Scanner class provides convenient methods for reading input values of various types A Scanner object can be set up to read input from various sources, including the user typing values on the keyboard Keyboard input is represented by the System.in object

Reading Input The following line creates a Scanner object that reads from the keyboard: Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in); The new operator creates the Scanner object Once created, the Scanner object can be used to invoke various input methods, such as: answer = scan.nextLine();

Reading Input The Scanner class is part of the java.util class library, and must be imported into a program to be used The nextLine method reads all of the input until the end of the line is found See Echo.java

//******************************************************************** // Echo.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the use of the nextLine method of the Scanner class // to read a string from the user. import java.util.Scanner; public class Echo { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Reads a character string from the user and prints it. public static void main (String[] args) String message; Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in); System.out.println ("Enter a line of text:"); message = scan.nextLine(); System.out.println ("You entered: \"" + message + "\""); }

Sample Run Enter a line of text: You want fries with that? You entered: "You want fries with that?" //******************************************************************** // Echo.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the use of the nextLine method of the Scanner class // to read a string from the user. import java.util.Scanner; public class Echo { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Reads a character string from the user and prints it. public static void main (String[] args) String message; Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in); System.out.println ("Enter a line of text:"); message = scan.nextLine(); System.out.println ("You entered: \"" + message + "\""); }

Input Tokens Unless specified otherwise, white space is used to separate the elements (called tokens) of the input White space includes space characters, tabs, new line characters The next method of the Scanner class reads the next input token and returns it as a string Methods such as nextInt and nextDouble read data of particular types See GasMileage.java

//******************************************************************** // GasMileage.java Author: Lewis/Loftus // // Demonstrates the use of the Scanner class to read numeric data. import java.util.Scanner; public class GasMileage { //----------------------------------------------------------------- // Calculates fuel efficiency based on values entered by the // user. public static void main (String[] args) int miles; double gallons, mpg; Scanner scan = new Scanner (System.in); continue

Sample Run Enter the number of miles: 328 Enter the gallons of fuel used: 11.2 Miles Per Gallon: 29.28571428571429 continue System.out.print ("Enter the number of miles: "); miles = scan.nextInt(); System.out.print ("Enter the gallons of fuel used: "); gallons = scan.nextDouble(); mpg = miles / gallons; System.out.println ("Miles Per Gallon: " + mpg); }
